Found this NewsMax editorial on the Global Warming Hype.  But first a little editorial from myself.

Global Warming fear mongering is not a legitimate reason to be "eco-friendly" and sacrifice industry and jobs to the gods that some enviromentalists worship. 

In fact there are only four reasons for being better stewards of the environment.

1. If it removes or limits our dependence on foreign sources of energy.

2. If it reduces the cost of living, without sacraficing our standard of living.

3. If there is a measurable health threat that hard science can demonstrate harms our populace or some segment thereof

4. If not doing so limits future availability of necessary resources.

For Christians a 5th reason could be because the Bible says we are to be stewards or caretakers of this planet, but that also could dovetail with the 4th reason nicely.

Anyway here is the article on how the recent cold spells are exposing the Global Warming Hype...

Global Warming? New Data Shows Ice Is Back

By: Phil Brennan 
 
Are the world's ice caps melting because of climate change, or are the reports just a lot of scare mongering by the advocates of the global warming theory?

Scare mongering appears to be the case, according to reports from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that reveal that almost all the allegedly "lost" ice has come back. A NOAA report shows that ice levels which had shrunk from 5 million square miles in January 2007 to just 1.5 million square miles in October, are almost back to their original levels.

Moreover, a Feb. 18 report in the London Daily Express showed that there is nearly a third more ice in Antarctica than usual, challenging the global warming crusaders and buttressing arguments of skeptics who deny that the world is undergoing global warming.

The Daily express recalls the photograph of polar bears clinging on to a melting iceberg which has been widely hailed as proof of the need to fight climate change and has been used by former Vice President Al Gore during his "Inconvenient Truth" lectures about mankind's alleged impact on the global climate.

Gore fails to mention that the photograph was taken in the month of August when melting is normal. Or that the polar bear population has soared in recent years.

As winter roars in across the Northern Hemisphere, Mother Nature seems to have joined the ranks of the skeptics...
